There’s a lot going on in this picture. I like the way a simple image, the heart, is made from such complex images, the people. (I think the guy in his underpants has some explaining to do.)

The Shadow of the Stars
The decorations in the window created something that could never be: the shadow of the stars.

Wave
This is beautiful and powerful, and captures a moment that would be all too fleeting in real time.
Here Comes the Sun
Mona took this picture of the setting sun peaking through the clouds on her way home from work- not bad for a snapshot on a cellphone!
Like Still Photography
As the hours pass I get used to the motion of the train, the heavy wheels clacking in their grooves, the industrial hum under my seat. Dusk softens the sharp points of trees outside my window; the sky slowly darkens, then blackens around an orb of moon. Hours later, a faint blue tinge yields to …
Staring at the stairs
I don’t think I’ve ever reblogged a picture of stairs just because they were really cool. This is a first. (via)

Autumn
There’s a special spot in my heart for the flowers that bloom bravely on when all the others have called it a day.
Impressionism
Photo by Gaetano Pezzella (via). Isn’t this an amazing shot?

Inspirations
